Xerox recently launched a new product line in India, offering a range of original Xerox laser cartridges for select HP and Canon A4 printers. These cartridges are available at Flipkart, which is the exclusive online partner, and with Xerox channel partners. Vipin Tuteja, executive director, technology, channels & international business, talks to financialexpress.com on how this unique business line enables the company to offer high quality cartridges for multi-brand printers at great value:

Why did you launch cartridges for non-Xerox A4 laser printers in India?

Xerox has always prided itself on providing innovative and quality products/value to its customers, which are in line with their current business needs.

We have launched this new, unique business line in India that enables us to offer high quality cartridges for multi-brand printers at great value, thereby benefitting customers who maybe using printers of other brands. It will also help in creating a new base of customers for Xerox.

Xerox has been running this business successfully in more than 40 countries worldwide. We are confident that with the great value proposition that we offer, it would do extremely well in India.

In the initial phase we are offering cartridges for popular A4 laser devices of Canon and HP. The range will be expanded to cover more devices in coming months.

Has this been done by Xerox in other countries? How has the response been so far? How is the feedback been from your set of customers?

Yes, this is already a successful global business for Xerox in nearly 40 countries, and as we now bring the same value proposition to India, we are confident that the Indian customers will also adopt it.

We have received an enthusiastic response both from the market and our customers here. We are confident that it will do well with our partnership with Flipkart and our extensive channel partner network.

Are these supplies already available in India? Is it only available on Flipkart?

Yes, these supplies, apart from being available through Flipkart, would also be marketed by our extensive channel partner network.

Under the agreement, how many product SKU’s as well as units of cartridges are covered?

We are offering the full range of Xerox Replaceable cartridges through Flipkart. And as we expand our range, the new SKU’s will also be available online.

What are these cartridges priced at?

The price of these cartridges varies by the SKU but most of these are being offered at a special introductory price
